New York, Jan. 29.—Gains made mmong the standard stocks on yester- day’s rise were considerably reduced today. Apparently the most pressing Tequirements of the short interest had been satisfed and the demand fell off, with a resultant weakening in market values. This was especially true emong leading stocks such as Read- ing, Union Pacific, Steel, Amalgamat- ed and the Hill shares. The special ties fared better. There was little pressure against these stocks and some of them made further gains. News from London that peace negotiations had been broken off was followed by ihe most active selling of the session. Although the conclusion of these nego- tiations had been definitely forecasted and the news had no pronounced in- fluence on speculative sentiment, bear traders were able to utilize this de- velopment with some success,, lm the same way bears professed disappoint- ment at the quarterly report of the steel corporation on the ground that earnings were not as large as some estimates had called for. A factor which, in_the opinion of many traders, was detrimental to the general market was the movement in ihe American Can stocks which have brought them into prominence during the last week. Can common sold to- day at 40 3-4, as compared with 28 1 last Wednesday. The preferred in the same time rose from 115 3-8 to The spectacular fluctuations in these issues apparently were the result of bold manipulation, and the standard issues today did not follow the lead thus given. however, a few stocks whic loped conspicu- | s strength. Harvester continued its e, moving up five points. Southern Pacific was In steady demand d Tose over two points, buying hav- ing been stimulated by rumors con- cerning approach of an agreement in the negotiations for dissolution of the Harriman merger. Illinois Central was stronger on the appearance of the De- mber report showing a net increase $708,000. ond prices wefe somewhat easier. Total sales, par value, $1,875,000.

A. Phillips Said Rose Was in Fine Condition and That Death Was Acci- dental. New York, Jan. 29.—Magistrate Geismayer today discharged from custody James B. Smith, the pugilist who knocked out - “Chic” Rose in a boxing exhibition in Brooklyn Monday night. Rose dled without regaining consciousness and Smith was locked up on a charge of homicide. The court held him not guilty. Dr. Charles A. Phillips, examining physician of the club where the bout was staged, told:the court that he had examined the boxers before they enter- ed the ring. He found, he said, that both were in excellent physical condi- tion, and said that in_ his opinion Rose’s death was caused by accident. Rose had never appeared in a public boxing exhibition before. Up to the sixth round, when he was knocked out, the bout had been an even one. Smith is a bugler on the. recelving ship Hancock at the New York navy vard. WOULD OPEN OLYMPIC GAMES TO PROFESSIONALS President Willis Favors Bringing To- gether Best Athletes of the World. London, Jan. 29.—At the anmual din- ner of the South London Harriers club tonight, President Willls, who said the club was the pioneer in international athletics, made the startling proposal that the next Olympic vgames should De open to both amateurs and profes- sionals. Without any direct reference to the Thorpe incident, he contended that the line between professionalism and am- ateuriem was less sharply drawn in other countries than in England, and that therefore England was not in the same position to compete as other countries. He urgued that until the Olympic games were thrown open to the professionals and the beth athletes any country was able to produce were brought together, England’s position as the premier athletic country of the world could never again be attained. Sporting Life, commenting on the Thorpe incident, completely exonerates the Amateur Athletic wnion of the United States and thinks that its am- ple apology should be accepted in tae spirit in which it was offered.

London, Jan. 28—The suffragettes resumed their window breaking and post box outrages on a small scale tonight, but their endeavors were suf- ficient to maintain a state of nervous apprehension among the shopkeepers and the large bodies of police and pri- vate watchmen guarding the streets and buildings. The windows in some of the govern- ment offices and in the offices of the Hamburg-American _Packet company were broken. A few arrests were made. Many packages have been found in the various post offices which on being opened burst into flames. Some of them were addressed to Premier Ac- quith and Chancellor Lloyd-George. SHUGRUE BEA‘TS CROSS.

Cross outpounted hiS man during the next two rounds but Shug- rue had the better of the remainder of the bout. “Young Jack” O'Brien of Philadel- phia ,who was te have fought Phil Cross, a brother of Leach, explained that he had hurt his hand in a beut at Brodgepert Monday night and the club physielen Would not permit him to go on, Jimmy Coffey of this eity was sub- stituted and fought a draw with Cress, Capablanca Wins Anocther, New York, Jan, 2!.—4n forty moves Jose R.

DELEHANTY WALKED. Hadn’t the Carfare to Take Him to His First Job. Few baseball players today want to go back to the “good old days’ re- ferred to by the veterans. In the “good old days” clubs seldom advanced transportation to the recruits and it was up to the latter to report the best way they could. As a result, the re- cruits generally tieq up with some club in their own neighborhood. Ed Ddle- hanty, famous the land over as a mighty batter, made such a choice. ®d, who had acquired local fame as a batter, was In receipt of offers from several clubs. He picked Mansfleld. J. H. Knisely of Toledo, who was one of the backers of the Mansfleld club in those days—back in 1886—tells the story of Delehanty’s professional debut as_follows: “Six or seven of us business men raised enough mcney in Mansfield to lease a field and fence it in and build a grandstand, also obtaining a fran- chise in what was called the Tri- state league. I was made the secre- tary. Then we set to work signing players. Delehanty was'among those we._ wrote to. We had heard how he was_batting like a demon on the lots in Cleveland and went after him. We dig not send him any money. We mere- ly told him that if he would come to Mansfield we would give him a trial. “It never occurred to us that he might not have money to pay his transportation, Buf it seems his folks objected to bis playing ball and re- fused to let him have any. But that did not stop Ed. He wanted to be- come a professional and started at once. FHe rode freights oa the Big Four as far as Crestline and then started to walk the remaining twelve, miles to Mansfield. The roads were not paved in those days and there were no trolley cars to help him along. “But luck was with him. After he had trudged along for four miles, Dr. Craig of Mansfleld overtook him and gave him a lift, letting him ride the remainder of the way. Ed came at once to my office, not stopping to wash away the signs of his dusty journey. He was also very tired and very hun- gry. In fact, he did not look much like a ball player of today who enjoys & salary of $5,000 a season and dresses like a matinee idol, “He was o different man, however, after he had had a bath, a blg dinner and a new suit of clothes, We signed him at ence and he played the next day and made good right at the start, He began as a second baseman, but plaved mearly every pesition on the iarmond Dbefore the season was over. He was 8 natural bern ball player and placed Mansfield en the map in the baseball werld.” BOXING CLUBS WARNED, Qovernor Bulzer Save Bouts Must Not Deterierate Inte 8lugging Matthes. Jg bexing exhibitions are te be per- mitted to deteriorate into brutal slug- P - s ging matches, Governor Sulzer proposes to_recommend to the New York legis- lature the repeal of the Frawley law which created the state athletic com- mission. Unless there is an uplift of the sport to a plane where it cannot offend the moral sentiment of com- munities, the governor says he will act. “If the men who have it in oharge | do mot do it voluntarily, I have got to do it for them,” the governor said last night. “I have given them sufficient warning. If they don’t heed it, I will have to take the matter in my own hands. Greed killed racing and may kill boxing.” Governor Sulzer made public a letter from James R. Price, recently appoint- ed a member of the state athletic com- mission, governor defining his attitude on the question of boxing. Mr. Price says: “The commission decided unani- mously to do everything in its power to carry out your wishes to the letter, and it will take steps immediately to see that all bouts are conducted on a clean, scientific basis, and that all bru- in reply to one written by the tality or anything else offensive to the moral sense of the public shall be | eliminsted from the exhibitions.” MOTORCYCLE NOTES.
